The Leftist Assembly strives to protect those who labour and prevent the exploitation of the working class. To this end, we shall unite the peoples of our two communities into one inseparable family. Protectors of the revolution forevermore. The Constitution was most recently ratified by means of Direct Democratic Vote on the 21st of February, 2016.

The General Assembly is the legislative body for the government of the Leftist Assembly. It consists of nine members, and laws and amendments may be proposed by any member. For this to be ratified, it must receive a simple majority vote and an endorsement by the Secretary. Should it fail to receive this endorsement, a super majority vote of 70% may be attempted to ratify it. Each of the positions is elected through the alternative voting system. Terms last for 3 months, and elections begin at the end of their respective month (March, June, September, or December).
